Abstract
This paper describes a facility for generating engineering data on the nuclear technologies needed to build an engineering test reactor (ETR). The facility, based on a tandem mirror operating in the Kelley mode, could be used to produce a high neutron flux (1.4 MW/m2) on an 8 m2 test area for testing fusion blankets. Runs of more than 100 hours, with an average availability of 30%, would produce a fluence of 5 MW·yr/m2 and give the necessary experience for successful operation of an ETR.
